2014 Map of Hereford

About this map

Gunpowder Falls carves a deep path through the Maryland countryside, anchoring a landscape where historical estate names and modern suburban development converge. This area of Baltimore County is defined by its massive water management infrastructure, most notably the southern reaches of the Prettyboy Reservoir and the headwaters of the Loch Raven Reservoir. The settlement pattern reveals a transition from traditional farming communities like Butler and Hereford to sprawling residential developments with legacy names such as Worthington Manor, Glencoe Manor, and Lambourne Downs. The topography is marked by numerous drainage runs, including Bush Cabin Run and Blackrock Run, which historically dictated the winding path of local transit routes like York Road and Mt Carmel Road.
